- I find the less I say about the Supplemental Draft is better for my blood pressure. I wasted my time in that chat room yesterday as they just blindly moved divas back and forth between brands and teased splitting up teams and alliances. The only moves to me that really made sense were putting the Colons on RAW, which gives Priceless easier access to beat them for the Unified Tag Team Championships, bringing DH Smith to ECW for him to team with Tyson Kidd and Nattie Niedhart, and sending John Morrison to SmackDown so he can shine on a bigger stage. Hurricane Helms to ECW is a nice move too, but it's nothing really earth-shattering I think.
Other moves were head-scratchers. Why the WWE would want to turn their workrate show (ECW) into Land of the Monsters by not moving Henry and then sending both Kozlov AND Ezekiel Jackson there is beyond me. Moving Layla away from William Regal is a pretty bad move too. She was perfect with him. Now her, along with Brian Kendrick, Festus, Jesse, Ryder and Hawkins are probably next on the future endeavored list.
- WWE Superstars debuts tonight. If I have WGN America, I'll tune in live to see what all the hubbub is about. The show looks promising out of the gate with Matt Hardy against Undertaker and Christian vs. Finlay on the card for the #1 contendership to the ECW Championship. I'm afraid that other than those matches, we'll be seeing more recaps than usual, which would suuuuuuuuuuuck.
- A former World Champion debuts on TNA tonight, which I'll probably catch Saturday morning on my DVR. Since I'm not the spoiler-reading type, how many people want to bet that it's Taz?
- Finally, Dragon's Gate is expanding into the US this summer, ostensibly to compete with ROH in the indie market. I for one am psyched, since those Japanese jr. heavies are insane and thus fun to watch. The first show will be at The Arena on July 25th. I am so there, barring something coming up.
Don't forget the DragonGate VP of America is ROH's old booker/overlord. Should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it'll be Taz or not, though. Didn't he retire due to a neck injury or something? Plus, last I knew, he wasn't in wrestling shape. But if it IS him, I'll mark out.
ReplyDeleteUmmm TNA was taped a few weeks ago. Its not TAZ its a former World Champion. Not a former ECW/WWE/WCW champion.Trust me its better than TAZ
